The Maschine Hey Guys!
I wanted to ask you what you believe about the Maschine from native instruments.
I am believeing about starting to produce songs, but i am an absolute newbie in that matter. Would be the maschline alone be enough to produce or what would you need?
Moreover i would like to know if you could use it like a midi-fighter, because then it would be a 2 in 1 solution.
Plus there are the new machine micro would that be sufficient?
thank you!
greets,
chris de lux |

With the money you could spend on the Maschine or Mikro I recommend you get a Akai MPK 25 or 49 key or Novation Nocturn 25 or 49 key.
Not only will you find yourself wanting a midi keyboard in 3 months but you'll also want some knobs to control parameters which both of these come with. Assignable knobs!!
They also have drum pads much like the Maschine and the MPK has probably the best known out there pads at that in terms of quality and response.
This is just my 2cents but just believe when your producing your gunna wanna write your own melody in piano roll (midi keyboard part here **hint**), want something for controlling parameters in filters, synths and mixing (assignable knobs part **hint**) and the drum pads for drum racks or drum programming (I believe you get it now...)
I hope I gave you some insight!!
I disagree with you wholeheartedly.
First, the Maschine controller can act as a keyboard. Second, Maschine can use a keyboard. Third, the point of Maschine is the software.
Yeah |

Maybe if you're using a sledgehammer... The MPK pads are obnoxious for finger drumming. |

28.09.2011 | I've had my maschine for about 3 months now and i love it!
i use it for as a manipulated midi fighter with a mapping i found here its the deckalized mapping and it works flawlessly the large pads are hell of fun to play with especially in the beat slicer mode! and as far as for production i would say its more than enough to get you started and if you want you can add a cheap walmart plastic keyboard to it later on when ur ready by using its midi in/out ports of the maschine. i bought my keyboard at a garage sale for $5 then just bought two midi cables at guitar center $10 and i was set! very cheap solution ;D
heres a link to the mapping thread:

21.09.2011 | its a solid start and the stuff that comes bundled with it is more then enough to learn the basics before you invest time into learning a DAW. the kore elements collection has some good synths too to get you started |
Kesha Orde
21.09.2011 | I got one a few weeks ago as well and its completely refuelled my enthusiasm for producing. Sometimes (like toevening
) i just practice finger drumming for hours... its so much fun
I also love how easy and quick it is to chop up and play samples. But i agree it only makes for writing whole songs (instead of just loops) when used within a DAW. |
Janell Selser
21.09.2011 | I've had the Mashine (full size?) for a few weeks now and have been shocked at how straight forward and intuitive it is. I almost never have to look at the computer screen, everything is right at your fingertips. You technically can create complete songs with it but like Mostapha said it's better and I believe intended to be used with a DAW to finish things off. |

Darcie Vitt
21.09.2011 | I've had it for over a year now. It is unparalleled in producing and playability IMO. Yes you can definitely use it as a midi device for pretty much anything that is mappable or use it with Traktor and Live with its built in templates.
Now with integration with Komplete it will even get better. |
